Associate's Degrees in Criminal Justice

An associate's degree in criminal justice is a two-year degree program that will prepare students for entry-level jobs in criminal justice fields like law enforcement, the court system, corrections and security. An associate degree can, in some cases, be completed in less than two years through the below schools. Many students can apply any current criminal justice or military experience toward associate degree credit at the schools affiliated with this site. 

The associate degree in criminal justice is the most popular of all associate degrees earned in the United States as of October, 2007. The reason a criminal justice associate degree is such a popular degree is that most law enforcement agencies now require some college credit to be considered for employment. In fact, 50% of law enforcement officers now hold an associate's or bachelor's degree of some sort.

Criminal justice associate degrees are designed so that upon completion of the program a student can easily transition into a bachelor's degree in criminal justice at many schools or begin their career in the field of criminal justice.
